Getting there
Good for walkers
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travellers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
Simply the worst hotel of my life. None of the staff speak English, the entire hotel stank of cigarettes. The air conditioning and television did not work. The bed is filthy and stinking, as well as having someone else's hair on it. I didn't say hair, I said fur. And even worse. It is close to two "nortura houses" that only stop the sound around 2 am. When he was lying down, they started fighting in these nightclubs. The experience was so bad that I left before the reservation was complete. I don't recommend it at all,

I was uncomfortable the entire time I was there. Unclean rooms, I have no clue if those sheets were even washed. I didn't use the towels the Hotel provided. The room had shampoo, the bottle was half empty so someone topped it off with water, very ghetto. The hotel is connected to a man's bar, so strange men are constantly coming in and out. Smelly, musty, stay away. The staff was nice though, they kept our bags after checkout while we set up our departure. But that's about it. Even for free, I would NEVER stay here again.

We showed up with a reservation made through hostelbookers.com. The rude girl in the reception said there was no reservation and that it was not her business to find out what had happenned. Eventhough we showed our confirmation of the reservation and the payment of the booking fee, she said she had no contact in hostelbookers and could do nothing. After discussing for a long time with another man in the reception (who of course also treated us like we were crap). we saw he had our reservation printed and written by hand "not accepted", but they could never explain why. They said to us they could offer another room, a more expensive one, but wouldn´t take what we had paid before. We left to another hotel after loosing our time and money, and called hostelbookers, who then told us the owners of the hotel said we showed up unwilling to pay the price of the room (!!!) incredibly dishonest people trying to take advantage of turists!!!

This hotel charged 45 euros for one night in a double room, we were initially told this would be 40 euros and they even tried to charge us 50. Exceptionally damp bedding, could not see through the window or open it as it was boarded up on the outside. Shower curtain didn't reach the top of the bath so consequently the entire bathroom floor - bare concrete - was soaked, towel rail fell off the wall. Very loud night club downstairs that went on throughout the night. Lift only worked when it felt like it. The breakfast hall - which is actually shared with the more up-market Transatlantique - looked like a horror film, dirty, untidy and un-cared for. Breakfast was horrible - fluorescent slices of meat, blobs of old butter floating in water and stale pastries. The architecture would have been beautiful in its hay day but to see it in such a mess was depressing. Upon check-out the receptionist was sarcastic and smarmy. Not a mid-range hotel at all and not worth the money. Also the marble stair cases are covered in loose carpet which is incredibly slippy which is not secure and nearly sent one of us flying down two flights of stairs.

If you love architecture, Hotel Volubilis and its sister Hotel Transatlantique next door are for you. Hotel Volubilis is cheaper and a step down in quality. Breakfast is served in the dining room of Hotel Transatlantique. The bathroom sink leaked, but otherwise, my room was clean. The furniture is old. I always cringe when I read that a hotel has been 'renovated'. It usually means the charm has been erased and replaced with generic blandness. I am a frequent traveller who prefers old. I especially liked watching the sunrise over Casablanca from my 1919 balcony. If you need quiet, use earplugs. This hotel is downtown, not in a sleepy suburb. Plenty of sidewalk coffee cafes inhabit the neighborhood surrounding this classic Casablanca hotel.

The hotel was really bad. The staff was helpful at first but was rude later on. The room was extremely dirty. We had to change the room as soon as we went inside our room.The new room was also very dirty. The bathrooms was dirty. There was a horrible smell in the bathroom.We both couldn't even take a shower the next day because it was so dirty. The room was not even cleaned the next day. When asked they told me we that they will clean it the next day.The hot water would not work. Had to keep the tap on for around 20 mins to get some hot water. Our friend who was in another room actually slipped on the bathroom at cut his arm.The staff was really unfriendly.The hotel does not even have a first aid kit.When we asked for help, instead of helping we were told to go to the pharmacy near by to seek medical help.The hotel had a night club with very strange men coming in the night.Especially the hotel next door Transatlantic their was another night club with very loud music every night.There was men and ladies coming in and out of the hotel rooms every now and then. They were drunk and very loud.It was really loud and it seemed very unsafe to stay in the hotel common area at night.We were using the internet one night and the staff from the hotel next door turned the lights off on us. The food was bad as well. It was the worst hotel room I have ever stayed in. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. The hotel boasts a 2 star but I think it should be reviewed. The common area decor was nice and sort of grand but altogether it was very run down .This is got to be the worst hotel ever.No one should have to live in a hotel like this.

Stayed for 2 nites. Fighting outside lobby/bar nightly. Rooms small, broken art and furniture,door barely locked and easily picked by novice. Airconditioning constantly leaking in middle of room, no warm water on 2nd day. No wi-fi as advertised. Restaraunt with nice decor but poor menu and ultra-minimal biscuit,coffee, jelly and a couple slices of lunch meat. Staff helpful at first, but very pushy and even rude for tips later....even after tipping quite well! Much more.... but generally all negative. Good news is it was cheapest and nice local architecture/art on 1st floor only. Not worth the savings.....especially when personal safety involved. Please dont take the kids!

If you really want the lowest cost place to stay, maybe you could do it. It is a safe place, an extremely friendly staff, close to the center of town and reasonably clean. However, you might consider this:
The hot water did work in my room. Too much trouble to change rooms or hotels after checking in.
Skip the hotel breakfast. Not worth the money. Didn’t get sick on the food.
Have fun in Casablanca.

The hotel is in terrible condition and in immediate need of attention. First, the room smelled like and old bar, cigarette smoke. Second, we had a bird inside our room. We managed to let the bird out through our window. Third, a big hole, made by corrosion at the bathtub (see picture). Fourth, two lamps were missing. One in the ceiling and one above the mirror. The one above the mirror had live wires "out in the open". Fifth, the AC didn't work. It was a mobile unit, however, the flexible exhaust hose was removed and fitted as a water lock to the toilet. Staff didn't speak English.

I stayed here for two nights and felt that it was good value for money in an excellent location and that my room was safe and secure. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful throughout. The rooms are relatively small and basic but they are light and very clean, with nice balconies to sit out on. Breakfast is in the linked Transatlantic Hotel, giving you a chance to enjoy its "bygone era" granduer. A very good budget option all in all.

"Our room was terrible, and connected to another room by a flimsy door, so you could hear everything. We had a balcony, so facing the street, however it is connected to the room next door, yet another reason to feel unsafe."
There are more places to choose from in the Casablanca area.
